Richard, I remember struggling with this when writing the Microsoft Media Server protocol (packet-ms-mms.c), but it did seem to work.
It was ideal for me for 2 reasons: (1) tcp_dissect_pdus() doesn't work for new-style dissectors that can reject data (2) in that protocol large PDUs can be reassembled either over TCP or multiple IP fragments into > MTU UDP frames, and doing it this way meant I didn't need to handle them as separate cases Take a look at the way I use it there and the comments I wrote at the time. Having said that, I haven't used it in a long while and don't have any captures handy here...
